On this day in 1990. . . .

[Big Hands]

On this day in 1990, Bob Crupi pulled this 21 pound behemoth from Castaic Lake using a live crawdad for bait. About a year later, he caught a 22 pounder from the same lake.

 

Note: Is it me, or does he have some tiny hands for a grown man, LOL.

I don't know. The few times I met him, he never offered, and I never thought to ask.

Watch Crupi catch that bass in Old Shithouse bay. 

Forgot about the Phenix pistol grip rod an Shimano 100 reel!

I still pull out and watch their old VHS tape every now and then...it's even still in the original wrapping

Must have been too busy with my 2nd grade homework to notice this achievement in 1990. Incomplete Homework = No Nintendo. 'Twas a simpler time. ?

Today, 1990 - I was working in the Telecommunications Dept. of Cargill running the monthly usage reports for the all the phones at HQ plus 32 other office locations from MA to FL, VA to CA. Was a little busy.

It seemed like it was always a race to see if you could get on a spot in there in the spring. I caught my PB in there too, but on the west bank right on the corner of the cut on that side.

 

That wrist wrecker pistol grip definitely dates this photo. Glad we don't use those anymore.

I was probably being conceived in the back of a pickup truck behind a bar around this time.

Wasn't he "stitching" a crawdad ?

This day in 1990 I was likely turning wrenches on a 737-200 at BWI. Six months away from turning the Big 3-0. And I thought THAT was old!

Well I know where I wasn’t........... in the back of a pickup truck behind a bar.

Was living in Ingleside Texas 20 minutes outside of Corpus Christi. Was either doing homework or in the bay pulling on some speckled trout with my dad..who at that time was younger then I am now. Some of you guys don't think 1990 was that long ago..but when your only 37 its forever.

And.. it won't be long until your 7 yr. old utters those all to famous words, Dad Can I get a car, all my friends have one. ?

I caught a 4lb smallmouth using one last year- an old Lews Speed Stick. Wrist wrecker is very accurate!

That was my local lake back then.  Bill Lamb taught me how to bass fish @ Castaic in a tournament.  I caught the big fish, 6 lbs, $108, and I think we came in 4th.  All Bill wanted to do was beat Don Iovino and we did.
